This furniture item would be an efficient way to navigate your house and its surrounding environment. You could have it designed as a portal or a teleportation circle on the ground (up to you sts).

------------------------------------------
How would it work?

Interacting with the teleporter would instantly transport you to the coordinates saved on it. The teleportation would be one-way for simplicity's sake.

Let's use this portal in my house as an example:

Clicking on the portal, like with any other interactable furniture item, would open up a menu.

NOTE: The "Edit Destination" option is available only to the owner.

Teleport: Selecting this option will transport you to the stored coordinates.

Edit Destination: This option allows the house owner to modify the destination coordinates. The changes made are saved on the teleporter.

"But Neutrone, how will I know where I want to be teleported?"

Use the /location command :) You'll get values like these:

These are what you'll be entering

Remember, this is a one-way teleportation system. To return, you'll need to purchase another teleporter and set its location to the original teleporter's coordinates. Alternatively, you could get creative and set it up how you'd like.

------------------------------------------
What are the advantages?

- Instant travel to faraway or "hidden" locations in the environment.
- Encourages creativity and development beyond just your house.
- A great plat sink idea because players may want multiple teleporters, especially those who love decorating.
- It is easy to implement since it utilizes existing UI features, mechanics, and code.
- The /location command would finally have more applicable use.
- It would be a pretty cool furniture item to have visually speaking (like a portal would be nice).

------------------------------------------
What are the disadvantages?

- Someone has to work on it I guess... I don't know you tell me [emoji28]

------------------------------------------
Opportunities

- If the devs ever consider adding extra floors to houses (or similar features), this would be an excellent way to travel between them. (You would only need to add an extra axis for upward travel.)

------------------------------------------
Thank you for reading! I'm interested in hearing any thoughts and opinions on this.

We can add portal furnishings, and we plan on making larger floorplans, but multi-story houses won't happen.

-ALSLarger floorplans would be great, depending on how big you can go, teleportation would be a nice way to get around.

Anyway ty for the feedback! Looking forward to seeing these ideas implemented.
